Be prepared to meet a lot of characters. If you like your military history to be about people, and not overburdened with the movements of battalions, corps and divisions, you'll like this book. There's thousands of individual stories that came out of June 6th, 1944. This captures a lot of them. While we all know about the pair of shoes General Rommel picked up for his wife's birthday, I never new that they didn't fit. That little vignette, says a lot about the kind of luck he would have that day. Rommel knew what everyone wanted to deny. If the Allies weren't pushed back into the sea immediately, the war would be lost. You can put this book on the shelf between Stephen Ambrose and Cornelius Ryan. I enjoyed it.
